Trip Advisor is finally busy again – the good kind of busy, not the rebook-cancel-rebook cycle they’ve been stuck in for the past two-plus years. But many are busy and it is taking its toll. Burnout is a real problem in the travel agent community right now. That’s why we’ve invited Laura Magnuson, a licensed therapist and vice president of clinical engagement at Talkspace, to join us for this trade secrets episode. We’ll talk about how to avoid burnout in the workplace, how to balance work and life when you’re busy, and more.
This is our season two finale! We’ll be re-releasing some of our older episodes in August and September so you can look back at the topics we’ve covered before. In the meantime, please let me know your questions and ideas! Then, in October, we’ll be back with all new trade secret episodes. We’ll be releasing a trailer closer to our season three premiere. Thanks for listening!
